Weekly fellowship
The prayer meeting on 9/26/23 will be a church-wide, corporate, prayer meeting for all languages at Hall 1 at 7:30pm.
The North America College Training was a special time where we had 33 students and 10 serving ones from Irvine who attended. Love Prevails was the general topic of the college training and it was recorded to have the largest number of college students attended. There were two lines covered during this training: the morning line was on “Holding to truth in love”, where college students realized the need to be consistently grounded in the word of God. During the evening line on "Love prevails” many were touched by the love of God to love God, love one another and love all men.
Please pray for all the college students, especially the 33 from Irvine, that the Lord will supply each one of them to hold to truth in love by daily and consistently being grounded in the Word of God. Also pray that for the Love of Christ to constrain them to love the Lord Jesus personally and affectionately, love one another and eventually love all men.
New School year update:
With the college meetings resuming, where we have approximately 20-25 students throughout the summer, full-timers and students are working together on welcome week events and the upcoming fall retreat from September 21-24.
Please pray that the Lord will abundantly supply all the full-timers and students and keep them in the enjoyment of Christ as they are preparing for UCI Welcome Week. Also, pray that the fire of the gospel will be stirred within all of us, especially that the students would experience the joy of fruit bearing. Finally, pray that the Lord will operate in the heart of freshmen to be gained fully for His purpose.

The brothers in Munich, Germany, recently entered an agreement to purchase a strategically located building that is ideally suited to served as a student center and a meeting hall for the church in Munich. The campus labor in Munich has been fruitful over recent years resulting in many of the fruit gained off the campus attending the Full-Time Training in London.
The church has committed to offer $25,000 towards the purchase of the meeting hall in Munich, Germany. If any saint would like to contribute towards this commitment, please make an offering and designate it for Munich Meeting Hall.
Offerings to the church in Irvine can now be made via Zelle.
The church’s Zelle account is: Zelle@churchinirvine.org
The benefit of making offerings by Zelle is that there are no transaction fees charged to the church. If the offering is for a particular matter please designate that in the memo field.
If your Zelle limit is below the offering amount you would like to give, it is often possible to raise that limit by requesting that your bank increase your transaction limit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For those already using Zelle related to other matters (e.g., paying rent for corporate housing), you should continue using the same Zelle address as before.
For any questions please email offering@churchinirvine.org. (Note: Do not Zelle funds to this email address)
